     Myths are stories that involve the twelve Olympic Gods, Goddesses, and more. Nobody knows if these stories are true or fake for sure. People back in ancient Greece believed and lived by them. People in today's society think that these stories are fake. The people from ancient Greece where very convinced that these myths where true. Myths had a very important role in ancient times, many people practiced and believed them.
     
     People in our current society believe that myths where created to entertain, and they still do. You can see myths and gods in movies such as "300", "Percy Jackson and the Olympians", and "Hercules". There is one thing that really makes myths look fake and thats religion. Religion is in every ones life nowadays. Myths really don't have an important role in today's society because they aren't thought about much. People really don't care about them.
   
     On the other hand in ancient Greece it was everything. Myths where there religion. Myths had an extremely important role in ancient Greece. Myths affected everything. They affected war, how people live, and everything else. People thought that thunder and everything that is of mother nature was from the gods.

     The people of ancient Greece and today's society had one thing in common. They both where entertained by the myths. The people of ancient Greece and today's society had very much in difference. Ancient greece has different feelings towards myths and today's people have religion. Myths overall made there part which is big in history and will still be known in the future.
